Human hamster wheel

Brooklyn

The performance art "In Orbit," a 25-foot wheel made from wood, steel, and furniture, is home for artists Ward Shelley, top, and Alex Schweder, bottom, for 10 days at the Boiler gallery in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, N.Y., March 4, 2014.

They will share two living units arrayed over the hamster-wheel-like sculpture, with Shelly living on the outside and Schweder on the inside. The structure will remain on view through April 5.
